Generating genomic data for 19 tropical reef fish species of the Western
Indian Ocean, we investigate how species ecology influences genetic diver-
sity patterns from local to regional scales. We distinguish between the α,
β and γ components of genetic diversity, which we subsequently link to six
ecological traits. We find that the α and γ components of genetic
diversity are strongly correlated so that species with a high total
regional genetic diversity display systematically high local diversity.
The α and γ diversity components are negatively associated with species
abundance recorded using underwater visual surveys and positively with
body size. Pelagic larval duration is found to be negatively related to
genetic β diversity supporting its role as a dispersal trait in marine
fishes. Deviation from the neutral theory of molecular evolution motivates
further effort to understand the processes shaping genetic diversity and
ultimately the diversification of the exceptional diversity of tropical
reef fishes.
